24 Aug - Using drama to learn about photosynthesis




On our science lesson, we had a drama where pupils role-played "plant", "water", "carbon dioxide", "oxygen"
, and "sunlight". The other pupils read the script of the drama. My pupils enjoyed themselves a lot and we had a lot of fun. Dramatisation is certainly an effective and visual way to learn Science. It builds up the confidence of the pupils and also inject fun and excitement in learning. I could improve on this drama but just choosing a few pupils to read the scripts while the rest could watch the performance with leisure. :)
As closure, as my pupils have learned about carbon dioxide and oxygen, I gave them a challenge to find out what the 4 main gases in the air are.
